    Trump didn’t answer a single question with anything other than, “I’m rubber; you’re glue.” Biden was stumbly but he at least answered questions and you 90% knew what he was talking about.

      To rephrase this, trump performed as expected, Biden performed worse than expected.

        Exactly.

        I don’t know why people want to declare Biden did a great job just because Trump showed up and acted like trump.

          Obviously, neither candidate did a great job. I just don’t see how anyone can declare Trump the winner. Everything is about what Biden did poorly. Are the right-wing forums sitting around this morning discussing what great ideas Trump put out last night?

            trump supporters were always going to say it, but who cares what they think?

            Everything is about what Biden did poorly.

            Because when the only other option is trump, it really matters if Biden isn’t capable.

            Are the right-wing forums sitting around this morning discussing what great ideas Trump put out last night?

            Again, who cares?

            And why does it sound like you want Dem voters to be more like Republican voters and have zero standards besides the letter by someone’s name?

            You can’t turn the Dem party into the Republican party. If that’s what Dem voters wanted from a party. They’d be Republican voters.

            It’s easier to change the candidate than 60 million Dem voter’s standards…

              I definitely don’t want to be more like the Republicans who blindly follow a party. I just don’t see how they’re declaring a win when their guy brought nothing - no ideas, no plan, just made up shit about post-birth abortion and golf. I heard Biden on the radio today and he sounds alive and coherent and excited.

      Biden was stumbly but he at least answered questions and you 90% knew what he was talking about.

      He didn’t answer every question, multiple times he just went off about something else.

      If you feel like you understood him 90% of the time, then you’re the exception. I’m sure every trump supporter is saying trump made sense most of the time too.

      That’s why I asked:

      Feel free to provide a source from literally any major news organization claiming Biden did well and was coherent.

      And you apparently couldn’t find one…

      Edit:

      And I shouldn’t have to repeat this in every comment…

      But yes.

      Trump is terrible.

      But Biden might not be good enough to beat Trump, so why not run someone that is while we’re still a month away from the convention and as the DNC loves to say: they can nominate anyone they want, primaries aren’t real elections.
